China's foreign ministry says the country's assistance will not stop until the Ebola epidemic is eradicated in West Africa. China will send an elite military unit to Liberia to help stop the spread of the deadly Ebola virus, the country's foreign ministry says. The announcement comes after the United Nations called for a greater global effort to fight the disease, which has killed nearly 5,000 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Washington has led the international drive against Ebola, sending thousands of troops and committing about $1 billion, but Beijing has faced criticism for not doing enough.http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/international/2014-10-31/ebola-crisis-china-to-send-elite-army-unit-to-help-tackle-outbreak-in-liberia/1385359
